Health data company MDClone announced a $63 million Series C funding round. This news comes two and a half years after the Israeli company announced its $26 million Series B. Warburg Pincus and Viola Growth led the round, with participation from aMoon, LightSpeed Venture Partners and OrbiMed.
The startup has created a self-service data analytics platform designed to help health systems access and organize their data. The system is made to help clients find data insights that help with medical research and patient outcomes.
Clients are able to ask the platform to create patient cohorts, grouping patients together by any event on a patient's timeline. The platform also lets users see productivity over time. It can also use synthetic data to share information from other organizations.
The company plans to expand its services into new regional markets and expand its platform. It is also looking to include new markets in the life sciences and real-world evidence space.
"We’ve been looking to invest in the digital health space for a while and were fascinated with MDClone and the immense opportunity it brings to the healthcare system by democratization of healthcare data without the risk of exposing individuals’ data. The company has shown great progress in the past year and an even bigger vision that we believe can transform the way doctors around the world can treat patients and improve care," said Eran Westman, general partner at Viola Growth.

"That's why it's so essential for organizations to offer quality, personalized benefits and coverage plans to empower a dynamic, creative and engaged workforce. This investment is a vote of confidence in our mission to make the healthcare and benefits experience clearer, quicker, kinder, much more beneficial and economical."
